GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Okay, since the last one was only aimed at the PC version and a few people posted in there I decided to make a newer and better thread! This game hasnt gotten the attention it deserves on these boards. Hopefully we can get enough people interested to have an official GT game or two.

just let me know if i screw anything up, and for the IDs, or gamertags I dont have just post them in here.

So lets discuss! What do you love? Hate? Wish they had? Which are your fav classes?

The classes I play as most are Scout, Sniper, Engineer. But Im not obtuse to switching to what class our team needs for victory. My favourite map would have to be Gravel Pit, I hate 2Fort but can play it in small doses.

Here are some vids that may help and are just plain fun to watch

Scout



Sniper


Pyro


Heavy


Spy

Everyone who isn't on the list for any version.
Just post in here and I shall add.

This is truly an awesome game.

And my top 3 classes are generally engineer, medic and random assortment. Use to be spies but people got smart.

As for levels, I enjoy Well because it only shows up so often. It's really special. :D

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

aww... I'm the only one with the PS3 version? That's expected. It's a shame too because TF2 has dedicated servers on the PS3 version. NOOOOOOOO Lag :D

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

I've put off playing because my computer was just too slow. However, I just bought the best AGP card that will ever be made, and am reinstalling Windows so more of my minuscule RAM will be free as creep had taken it over. I'm creating several backup images so I don't have to do this all over again, and my new power supply to run the behemoth video card should be in Monday. Hopefully by that time I'll be back on TF2 all the time. I love it.

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

We should really have a weekly TF2 night over the summer.

Edit: Swan, Fox, BaB, what if we all post times we'll *probably* be available over the summer and agree to a day and time?

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Hmmmm. I will be working early mornings so any time in the afternoon and early evening will be good. Maybe on weekends i wil be able to stay up later. We shall see when i get my hours.

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

I'm down for trying to get some matches of TF2 going over the summer. It's the only online game I play by myself these days.

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Well assuming my schedule doesn't change too much.

I should be available Wed/Thurs.

And to be safe we shall say after 4 every other day.

I believe my steam ID is just StlJason1, without the hotmail.

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

I have a question, and I think I already know the answer to it, but it's gonna be asked anyway. Can this game be played split-screen multiplayer? Like Halo 3? You know, a bunch of my buddies and myself could get together and play this online? Probably not right? What a crapload of crap. My roommate bought Unreal Tournament 3, and guess what, you can't even play split-screen offline multiplayer. What kind of multiplayer games are they making these days, geez!

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Dont look at me, talk to Babs.


No split screen multiplayer.

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Throwing me under the bus eh?
haha

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Vrooooooooooooooom

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Add 'Canyarion' to the PC list. :)

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Adding you didn't work.

I absolutely love the toy bedroom level. Maybe it's because I haven't played them much, but I don't really like the bigger levels, they're too confusing.

Half Life 2 had a really slow start. Now that I'm working my way through the sewers with all the soldiers after me, it's starting to get fun. :)

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

just wait till you get into portal. ;)

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Yeah, this is the only thing about Steam that I hate. I joined Steam when it first came out, and you were required to use your email address as your SteamID. I think. Anyway, to this day they do not allow you to change your SteamID.

So instead of just telling people 'barneyis666', I have to tell everyone that it's 'barneyis666 at y---o.c--' except in proper email format with the -s replaced with the correct letters of that well-known email domain.

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Me and my friend figured out the best stratedgy ever. And the stupidest.


When we were on defense on Dustbowl today we decided to both be medics. We only healed each other and played with an offensive stratedgy. And we kicked ass.

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

this game had totally been sleeping under the radar with me for some reason, just heard about this gem the other day, i will definitelly be getting this on 360 soon enough.

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Yay, that worked. :)

So far I've only seen TML online. Played 1 game with him, one of my first.

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Yesss I got my new power supply today. I have some more images to create before I install Steam and TF2 again, but hopefully I'll be done soon enough so that I can play again tonight and test the new videar card

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Heres one for the Demoman


And 2 for the Soldier

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

BTW, for those who have never tried this game. and have a computer capable of running it... its currently FREE on steam for this weekend. play all weekend as much as you want.. all you need is to have steam (download install) and download the game to play.

if your thinking about it. or curious what it is... give it a try now!! FREE!!!

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

For our PC friends with Team Fortress 2, how is the new map (that we better get on consoles soon)?

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

So summer is almost here. We should get some times that would be best for all of us up so we can get a game going asap

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

I arrive home tomorrow, so I will be up for some TF2 nights asap. Although I might want to start, play, and finish GTA IV first.

Perhaps we could have some GTA IV multiplayer nights?

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

There have been many a freemode with the likes of Babs, Dylflon, Swan, myself and others. You are welcome of course.

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

So how fun is GTA IV multiplayer, in all honesty?

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Well from what ive played, its pretty fun. For example yesterday Babs, myself and a friend of mine were playing with 2 others we didnt know. The 3 of us sorta ganged up on the other two and we had some good battles. One moment stood out though. Babs was fighting the two guys and was in need of help so my friend and I flew over in a helicopter. I killed one of the guys gunning out of the back of the chopper while we landed picked up Babs and made our break for it. Other notables included throwing molotov cocktails at a helicopter, throwing grenades out of your moving car only to have the people following you blow up, and everyone camped out at happiness island trying to last with 6 stars. Yeah its pretty fun.

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Yeah, I quite enjoy hunting tourists on Happiness island.

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Fun times fun times.

Though I was also keen to you and your friend complaining that I would show up in a new car every minute or so. And also fond of running him over during your gun fight. :p

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Curse you and your everchanging cars.

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

TF2 or GTA IV tonight!

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

I dunno if i can be on. I have some family related issues that may or may not get in the way.

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

I have so much fun playing as a sniper... I think I'm pretty good, especially when there aren't enemy snipers to headshot me. :)

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

thanks for standing still mate

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

I didn't know which thread to bump, but this is just getting sad for 360 owners.

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

Ah that's my favorite part of sniping. :p Nothing beats dropping a headshot on your equal from across dustbowl coming out of the opening gate.

I think I'm approaching some kind of Sniper Karmic Balance myself, where all of my failures combined across the other classes are culminating in the most ridiculously lucky, unexpected, and undeserved headshots I could ever hope for.

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

no more sad than it already has been. the game is a pc game, the only reason it was ported to 360 was to earn some extra money from those that dont play on pc.

and they're going to update every class before 360 even has a chance at the updates. because for 360, you'd have to pay for the update (not valves choice)
which honestly is a stupid idea to give 360 players the update at all at that point. because if some buy it, some done, you're splitting up the already small userbase on 360, and it will be harder to find matches.

as for the updates itself. i wish they'd hurry up and get the lame classes out of the way. (i expect spy next) and get to the good ones... sniper / demo / soldier :D

Re: GT TF2 Thread! "LAST ONE ALIVE SHUT THE DOOR!"
 

But I don't understand, how can they provide free updates for L4D? Did Microsoft change their policy?
